- earthscienceman 8y agoI mean, if we stick with the spirit of the article I think that it's even more likely to be Fortran. Seemingly interesting, accomplishes certain very specific tasks well, turns into an absolute monolithic nightmare when encountered in the wild.

Apart from one module which our US colleges wrote in a completely different language (PL1/G) we only found that out when it was delivered. And at my first job at BHRA /BHR Group our fluid dynamics simualor was written in Fortran and was well structured I certainly don't recall any major problems
